I'll be the first to admit it - I don't like the Cabbage Soup Diet. But you, like a lot of people out there, are looking for a quick way to lose weight and you heard that this fad diet is the way to do it.

I'll be the first to admit it - I don't like the Cabbage Soup Diet. But you, like a lot of people out there, are looking for a quick way to lose weight and you heard that this fad diet is the way to do it.

Now as a responsible person who has some knowledge about weight loss, I should talk you out of it. I should tell you that this particular soup diet has been around for ages. Countless people have tried losing weight with cabbage soup diet recipes, and while some have succeeded, others have failed miserably.

So, you're probably thinking that because some people have lost weight on the cabbage soup diet that means that success is possible. And I bet you're also thinking that all diets do not work for all people. Well, you're right about that. Dieting is not an exact science. What works for some won't work for others.

Okay, so what's my problem with the cabbage soup diet?

I think this diet is an extremely short-term solution to a long-term problem. Like most fad diets, you're guaranteed to lose some water weight, which is pretty easy for most people to lose. This fact makes people think that it works miracles.

However, keep in mind that losing water weight is different than losing fat weight. Fat weight is what you really wanna lose. Fat weight is what's making your stomach bulge and slowing your energy down.
